Solution Summary
163 words of explained calculations to find the magnitude of acceleration and net force acting on a car going around a circular track, as well as its average velocity.
Solution Preview
A.
The speed is constant, hence the acceleration is radial (has no tangential component).
The centripetal acceleration is given by:
a =(V^2)/R
Where V is the tangential #speed# and R is the radius of rotation.
The direction of the ...
